The Alchemy of Being Kindle Edition

by Julie Kusma (Author), Derek King (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
The Alchemy of Being is a poetic, visionary, and integrative guide to the process of spiritual transformation, presented through the lens of classical alchemy. Drawing on Hermetic philosophy, Jungian psychology, and mystical practice, this book walks readers through the four essential stages of the Great Work: Nigredo (dissolution and shadow work), Albedo (purification and soul clarity), Citrinitas (illumination and integration), and Rubedo (sovereignty and embodiment).

More than theoretical exposition, the text functions as a living companion for the seeker—offering reflection prompts, rituals, symbolic glossaries, and over sixteen detailed appendices. It includes insights on planetary forces, alchemical glyphs, archetypes, ritual tools, feminine wisdom traditions, and visionary symbolism. Each phase of the Work is framed through both historical and experiential frameworks, weaving together psycho-spiritual integration with ancient esoteric traditions.

Intended for readers interested in depth psychology, Hermeticism, Western esotericism, symbolic systems, and the process of individuation, The Alchemy of Being offers both academic insight and spiritual guidance. It is particularly relevant to therapists, artists, healers, and contemplative practitioners who work with symbolism, dream imagery, and transformation. The book speaks fluently to the growing interest in archetypal psychology, feminine mysticism, and integrated approaches to consciousness studies.

    Award-winning author, Julie Kusma, currently lives in the United States, where she pens short stories, children’s books, inspirational books, educational books, YA, and speculative fiction novels. She has a fondness for psychology and philosophy, all finding a place on the pages of the pieces she pens. Several of her paranormal and horror stories and a few poems are available in audio format on her YouTube channel.

    In 2020, Julie was honored with the moniker “Queen of Horror” by contemporaries in the writing community. She released The Devil’s Scribe in 2021, a dramatized short tale of her origin as a horror writer.

    She holds a Bachelor of Science in Health and Wellness, a Master of Science in Health Education, and a Master of Art in English, Creative Writing, and Fiction. Her health sciences studies generated interest in the mind-body-spirit connection, and she writes about the impact our strengths and weaknesses have on our human experience. In particular, she has a fascination with the Jungian Shadow.

    A message from this author:

    No matter what medium art takes; canvas, clay, or words on paper, the message isn’t so much what it means to the artist, but rather what the piece says to the observer. I hope my work speaks to you.

    - Julie
